When is enough, enough?

When we're talking about yarn, that's obvious - it's never enough (cue The Cure)

What about Crochet books? 
I seem to have come across a few fabulous ones lately, and I suppose at some point I'll start to see the same old things. And will that make it enough?  
For example: I found this book in Onehunga today

A present for Lauree White on 1st April 1974 -I wonder how many of the things she made...

What a fantastic coat!
What made up my mind to buy it?  A similar pattern to those socks that were in the Vogue Crochet mag I received in the post just recently.

Diamond Jubilee Weekend

It's been a few decades now since we left the UK to settle in our new home on the opposite side of the world.  And even though we've been here longer than there, some things can still make us home sick :-)
